Not sure I understand this. Does power go the light or the switch? Do you mean power and light both connect to the switch?
It is possible to have power going to any of the switches and the light connected at any of the switches.
Not sure I understand this. Does power go the light or the switch? Do you mean power and light both connect to the switch?My wiring appears to show the power going to the light and the first switch at the same time,
Because the red wire was probably the switched wire that needed to be connected to the light black wire.I also didn't understand why my light was permanently on after I merely used the 14/3 wire already in the light box to connect the light with white and black, and left the red wire hanging free.
So what I have now is the two 3way switches work as expected in all cases, but the if either 3way swtich is toggled to one of the two positions, the 4way switch stops working, and if they are toggled to their other position, the 4way works as expected.
